I cannot believe its 2012. The time passes so quickly. It seems like it was just yesterday when I was a young girl (ok maybe not yesterday) living in Ohio, Michigan,Georgia, Florida, Nevada, California, Florida again, Georgia again, Illinois, Florida again, Tennessee, Florida again, South Carolina, Florida again,Georgia again,Tennessee again, Germany, Florida again, Germany again, Alabama and now....MARYLAND! Whew and that was all just yesterday:)  Time does fly!


In all of my travels one of biggest lesson I have learned is to embrace the journey. The places I listed above are places I "lived" but I have been blessed to have been able to travel to so many more  and I am so grateful for that. The people I have met along my journey have helped to shape me into who I am. They also have been a support for me when I needed it, family when I was missing mine and heros when I need that inspiration.




  I was featured cover story for Gazette Health this month. When I was reading it last night it reminded me of my journey. Like most, my journey has included loss, heart break and health issues for myself as well as family and friends. It reminded me that we should embrace each day for the day it is and don't look back in fear but ahead with the lessons I have learned a long the way. Health is a vital part of those lessons.


As national heart month approaches and National Go Red Day approaches, FEBRUARY 3, 2012, its important to remember to embrace your journey and take charge of your life and your health.


So in 2012...HERE'S TO YOUR HEALTH.....and don't forget to always listen to your heart.


Thank you to Gazette Health, Cardiac Associates and Adventist Healthcare allowing me to share my story.
